Kitchen Prep Table; Maple Butcher Block Top

I needed some more counter space in my kitchen for food prep as well as a permanent place to keep my toaster oven, it had been travelling back and forth from the counter to the floor. I know not the best plan. Hence this build.

I plan on using the top for rolling out pie dough, mounting my Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer and cutting stuff. I was going to place my toaster oven on the shelf, but it looks so good I am having a hard time doing that. I do want to mention I love Black Cherry; such beautiful and characterizing grain and color from greens to rich reds and pale browns.

Wood: Legs are Black Cherry, top is Hard Maple, shelf is Black Walnut, end grain butcher block made of Black Walnut and Black Cherry.

Finish: Three coats of Semi-Gloss Polyurethane on the legs and shelf.
